When does VAT apply?

Modified on Thu, 23 Sep, 2021 at 11:45 AM

If you are Dutch or an European individual, you will need to pay VAT (rates listed below). However, if you are non-European or an European (non-Dutch) company, you do not have to pay VAT.

VAT for non-Dutch European companies: VAT shifted

If you are an European company but not Dutch, we will set the VAT rate to 0% and shift the VAT. You will need to register the VAT in your own country. To shift the VAT we need a valid VAT number which can be validated using the European VIES service.
